Outdoor Furniture
Taking care of outdoor furniture is a very important thing to do
if you plan to use for some time. Here are some practices that
will help you preserve your outdoor furniture and keep it always
as good as new.
Of course, I am not talking about those cheap plastic chairs and
tables you will find in your local market; they are not meant
for durability. I am talking about quality outdoor furniture,
designed not for cheapness but for durability, that kind of
furniture that makes your garden even more beautiful.
There are two different kinds of quality outdoor furniture:
wooden furniture and half-metal-half wood furniture.
The first kind is usually the most beautiful, but also the most
difficult to maintain. They require constant care to avoid
corruption and preserve them from weather. Fungicide paint,
anti-bug wood polish and other products will be needed in order
to keep your wooden table or bench always radiant. You will need
to paint your wooden furniture every two or three months, but
this time is sensibly shortened in case rain or adverse weather
surprises your piece of garden furniture.
The other kind of outdoor furniture is a little easier to take
care of, because generally metal is more durable and less
fragile than wood. However, wooden parts must be painted and
maintained on a regular basis. There are some anti-rust paints
that will be good for the metal parts too.
Your garden is an outdoor extension of your house, and you must
think about your garden furniture as an extension of your indoor
furniture, cleaning it and taking care of it just as you take
care of your living-room armchair or your kitchen table. Doing
so will ensure a long life for that quality garden furniture you
have, saving you money and keeping your garden gorgeous.
